First of all, Happy Belated Birthday Spruse, and Congratulations to Spruse and Sami for being an example of babeliness and excellence through matrimony.

I don’t often feel compelled to write lengthy prose to accompany my photographs, because I’m normally of the thought that the photos should speak for themselves. However, this particular wedding has an extra-special place in my heart.

I’ve known Spruse since about middle school, and in that time I’d say that the two of us have experienced one another in difficult moments, but also great growth and change. Not only have I witnessed Spruse’s absolutely boss-lady blossoming into the amazing woman she is today, but I have seen change in the form of peace and joy encompassing her being. I attribute a great deal of that shift to Sami. If CBD oil were a human, I kind of feel like that would be Sami; she is incredibly laid-back and radiates a calm and generous energy. To watch the dynamic between these two wonderful humans, and to see that my dear friend has been taken into the loving care of someone with such warmth, makes me ecstatic.

Spruse and Sami spent their wedding weekend surrounded by some amazing scenery and their closest loved ones; it was such a gift to be one of the few who were invited to be present for the experience.
